After Yang Ruoqing was busy with her birthday gifts a few days ago, she has been on the streets making secret visits, looking for business opportunities, and conducting on-the-spot inspections of the market conditions of restaurants, perfumes, and other products that are closely related to life.

After several days of investigation, she had a rough idea in mind.

All this will be discussed in detail after we return to Changping Village and summon our fourth uncle, fifth uncle, and second brother together.

Today’s morning task is to go shopping with my fifth aunt and aunt.

"We are going back to Changping Village the day after tomorrow. Let's go shopping today and bring back gifts for our family." Yang Ruoqing said.

Yang Huamei said: "This time I brought Xiao Hei out to see the world, but I didn't bring Da Bai out. I feel really bad."

"I'm going to buy some more food and toys for my Dabai later, and take them back to him."

Bao Suyun also said: "We didn't bring any children here. It's a little better. It's really uncomfortable to bring one without one like you."

Yang Huamei nodded, "That's right!"

When Yang Ruoqing mentioned children, she thought of Dazhi and Baobao.

It’s been almost a month since I came out, and I still don’t know how the two children are doing at home?

You definitely have to bring snacks and stuff.

Although there is no shortage of snacks for the children at home, a mother who travels far away cannot bear to go back empty-handed.

In addition, you have to bring some gifts to the elderly at home.

Although water flows from high places to low places, it is only natural and humane for the elders to think about the younger ones.

However, younger generations also need to repay their elders and have a grateful heart towards them.

Without the support of your elders and their support and care when you were young, would you be where you are today?

Considering Yang Huamei's financial situation, Yang Ruoqing and Bao Suyun discussed privately and each sponsored one tael of silver to her.

The reason is to buy food for Xiao Hei, because the child came to Yuncheng with the big guys, so Yang Huamei cannot refuse the money!

Yang Huamei accepted the money, feeling full of gratitude.

Yang Ruoqing gave Xiaohua some extra money and let her buy some things she wanted to buy.

Then a few people were shopping on the streets of Yuncheng, shopping, bargaining, and comparing shopping.

It’s such a blast to play!

Near noon, Yang Ruoqing returned to the Yang Mansion with several large and small bags.

They came in through the back door of the Yang Mansion. The few maids who stayed here were sitting in the yard chatting. When they saw them coming back, they quickly came over to help them get their things.

These maids, Yang Ruoqing had treated them badly during this period, and rewarded them every now and then.

These maids served them, and naturally they worked even harder.

"Miss Yang, the housekeeper from the front yard came over earlier and asked where you were. He said that the birthday banquet was about to start. He asked you to come back, so he hurriedly went to the front yard to have a banquet."

When the maid in Yang Ruoqing's house was sorting things, she turned to Yang Ruoqing and said:

This maid, Yang Ruoqing was disguised as a man when she first arrived at the Yang Mansion.

This maid almost fell in love with her...

Haha, it ended up being an oolong mistake.

However, after getting along for this period of time, the two of them got along happily. The maid even told Yang Ruoqing something about the backyard of Yang Mansion!

"Well, I'll wash my face and go to the front yard." Yang Ruoqing said.

In the front yard, the banquet has been set.

Because today's banquet was mainly for people from the Yang family, there were not as many guests as at the old lady's birthday banquet last time.

Three tables is enough.

Moreover, they are all men. The other female members of the family have not come over. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Zhou and Xie are busy preparing dishes.

The other female relatives belong to the old Yang family in Changping Village.

"Oh, Qing'er, look, isn't that Mrs. Xie?" Yang Huamei touched Yang Ruoqing with her elbow and said in a low voice.

"It's only been ten days, how did Mr. Xie become like this? Could it be that he was seriously ill?" she asked again.

There is no need for Yang Huamei to remind you. In fact, Yang Ruoqing discovered it when she first entered the hall.

Today, Mrs. Xie is following Mrs. Zhou to help greet the relatives of the family in the house.

Although there was a smile on his face, he looked too haggard to look at.

When I saw her last time, her figure was slim and slender, a little fatter and a little thinner.

But today, he is so thin that his chin could poke someone to death, his cheekbones are protruding, and his eye sockets are sunken.

Perhaps to cover up the sallow complexion and black eye sockets, Mr. Xie smeared a thick layer of powder on her face.

His face became paler and his lips became extremely red.

The original collagen beauty suddenly became a plastic surgery failure in just ten days!

"Is it an abortion?"

Yang Ruoqing thought to herself, because in the information she overheard last time, Xie was not only hooking up with Yang Wenxuan, but was also secretly pregnant with a baby.

In all likelihood, the sudden weight loss and emaciation are related to this.

"Auntie, let's not talk about it for now. Let's find a place to sit down." Yang Ruoqing said.

Yang Huamei nodded, led Xiao Hei, and followed Yang Ruoqing to a table over there.

At the table, Mrs. Liu and her three girls had already sat down. Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Xie came over to greet them. Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Xie were standing together. Mrs. Zhou's complexion looked much better this time than last time.

It became ruddy and fresh, just like the seedlings that had been dry for a long time and were suddenly nourished by the rain and glowed with vitality.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stood together, Ms. Zhou looked even more delicate and beautiful than Ms. Xie.

This further confirmed Yang Ruoqing's guess that something must have happened to Mr. Xie in the past ten days.

The banquet is about to begin. Desserts and fruits will be served first.

"Wow, it's not officially May yet, and there are watermelons?"

Looking at the triangular pieces of watermelon with red naan and black seeds cut into pieces on the big plate on the table, Yang Huamei opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Watermelon is not uncommon. When I was in Changping Village, watermelon was the most eaten food in summer.

I grew watermelons in the ditches of the cotton fields. When it was too hot to eat, I would cut a watermelon to relieve the heat.

But this month is a month early.

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou smiled and said to Yang Huamei: "This is a new product shipped from Licheng. It was sent by our Yang family's in-laws, the Fang family. The climate there is somewhat different from ours, and the local melon farmers have special characteristics.

Due to the growing techniques, watermelons mature earlier than in places like ours."

Yang Ruoqing is still a little interested in this.

"If you get watermelon at this time of year, it should be expensive but not marketable. If you sell it at the tile market, it will probably be sold at a sky-high price, right?" she asked Zhou.

Zhou nodded, "Yes, because the first batch is small in quantity and cannot be bought with money."

"I guess they won't be sold in the city because many wealthy families have reserved the first batch of watermelons."

After saying this, Mrs. Zhou greeted everyone to use their chopsticks.
Chapter completed!
